Why we need deer management (part 3)

Avoiding issues that arise in association with deer via non-lethal methods, are not a long term solutions. Their numbers are ever increasing. Instead of demonizing shooting folk in the UK, we should be promoting them, bringing new members into deer stalking, promoting more local venison, shooting more deer and praising those that keep a balance for all our wildlife on a daily basis.

Andrew had come stalking with Chiltern Sporting over a weekend and had learned a lot over a couple of blank sessions.

Few words from one of our loyal clients

I’ve had the opportunity over the years to shoot with a number of guides for both pigeon shooting/control and also for deer stalking.
